Dragon Ball Z is a lot like 'Bold and the Beautiful.' They'll spend three episodes with the characters just staring at each other. Repeating the same lines over and over again in just slightly different ways. With no progression happening at all, just a stale mate. It's the oddest cartoon I've ever seen lol

I loved it as a kid but it used to frustrate the hell out of me. I was a massive DBZ fan back in the day, completely immersed in that universe and its characters.

Well, I finally saw it. It was... well... uh... um. Hmm. Marsters was good for the six minutes he was in it, at least. And it really did feel like six minutes dispersed throughout the movie, with maybe a three to four minute chunk at the end for the final battle.

I think it was terrible from a Dragonball fan perspective, but sadly I'm pretty sure it was also terrible from an "I don't know anything about Dragonball and am going in expecting at least a good fun fantasy movie" perspective. Gaping plotholes, foreshadowings that had no payoffs, pointless scenes taking up too much time, and a few of the actors were so out of it at times that it really looked like they were reading the script from slow teleprompters off-screen. I found myself gaping at the screen in incredulous horror most of the time. I mean, I didn't expect them to get any of the Dragonball lore right, but I didn't expect the script to be that bad. Like, worse than Street Fighter: The Movie bad.

LiLi pretty much sums it up. I had seen about half of Dragonball, was really into DBZ at one point and went in expecting the worst. Not something I would pay to see, but I was still pretty entertained by the sheer cheesiness.
